Book Review-Crazy Love by Francis Chan

Welcome to the new format for my book reviews, thanks for following! Last month I read the popular book- Crazy Love by Francis Chan . wow, Wow, and WOW. The author is intense and "on-fire" for God. Chan is the former pastor of Cornerstone Church in SoCal. He says that his intended audience is "those who want more Jesus," and he encourages readers to surrender ALL of our lives completely to God. He begins the book with a shock and awe approach to God; he shares some amazing facts about the universe that can be found on the book's own website: http://www.crazylovebook.com/ He sees a disconnect between American Christianity and New Testament Christianity. He feels that most  Americans want a safe, balanced life that does not involve suffering. Using 2 Cor 13:5 as his premise, he proceeds to give 18 examples of "Lukewarm People." If you read this book, I recommend sitting down with this list and asking God where you may have become lukewarm in
